Purpose
Discrimination is pervasive in the medical field and in medical schools. 90% of medical students were asked at least one discriminatory question during residency interviews. If power dynamics in residency interviews foster misconduct, then it can be surmised these behaviors are also demonstrated in medical school interviews. However, the number of prospective medical students who experience discrimination in their medical school admission interviews is unknown.

Methods
This project consisted of a single institution study utilizing a 10-minute anonymous survey administered on REDCap. The survey was emailed to all currently enrolled MD students at the institution and participation was voluntary and anonymous. The data was analyzed using Excel to extract quantitative data and analyzed for trends. Further analysis will include SAS version 9.4. Chi-square test, t-test and/or Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is to determine differences in total amount of discrimination incidences by subgroup.

Results
75 responses were recorded. 8% of respondents reported some form of discrimination. Of those who reported discrimination, no one chose to report it. Of those who experienced discrimination and/or microaggressions during medical school interviews and did not report it, 83.3% of respondents reported one of their reasons for not reporting was due to fear of reprisal and compromising their chances of acceptance to the school.

Conclusions
Key findings suggest people who experienced discrimination/microaggressions are not likely to report the incidents. Responses suggested fear of reprisal due to lack of reporting anonymity, lack of third-party reporting channels, and lack of knowledge on how to do so. This suggests there may not be explicit and adequate resources available for students. A centralized reporting form to report medical school interview discrimination would lead to a mechanism for all interviewees to report interview mistreatment without fear of influence on admissions decisions.
